Denver City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca (D) spoke out and called on the Colorado government to increase taxes on white-owned businesses and give that money to black- and brown-owned businesses as a form of reparations.

CdeBaca attended the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance Forum on Thursday and believes that “capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources.”
